Technically, stars are giant burning balls of hydrogen gas around which solar systems are formed, but for the human race stars have always been something magical. We look up at them in the night sky and see pictures within their formations, see them as direction in the darkness, we even wish upon them. However the greatest use of stars in human imagination may be the finding of them in the Hoshi Saga series of point-and-clickpuzzle games. Okay, so that may be a bit of hyperbole, but I'm excited because Yoshio Ishii of Nekogames has just come out with 25 new levels of star hunting goodness in Hoshi Saga Ringoen, the sixth in the Hoshi Saga series!

As with previous Hoshi Saga games, the objective in each level is to point, click, or drag (or all three) the beautiful scenery in order to locate the stars. The puzzles themselves are not terribly difficult and are extremely fun to figure out, whether you need logic, fast reflexes, or just really good eyesight. While there are 25 different scenarios to solve, only 16 of them can be accessed immediately. You will need to solve the first four levels in each row across to access the fifth level in that row, and you will need to solve the first four puzzles in each column down to access the fifth as well. Still not nearly as difficult as the first games in the series, the puzzles in Hoshi Saga Ringoen will still fill you with delight as you make your way through the game. Whether you are new to the series or a veteran this is a fantastic way to spend mother's day reaching for the stars. You know, after you at least call your mom.

Click anywhere, then place the shapes in the dotted outline in the following order: Brown triangle, diamond, blue triangle, purple (left) triangle, pink (right) triangle.

Plug in the lamp and pull the cord.

Drag the lowest top bar to the right, over the rightmost part of the star, and let go.

Drag the brown ball to the right. Get the last ball and drag it all the way to the left, then arrange the other two over it to form the star.

Click like crazy until the mountain forms the bottom of the star.

When the five planes all come from the bottom and spread out, click and hold as they form the star. I found it was helpful to watch the one that breaks to the top right and hold as soon as he goes horizontal left.

Click and hold anywhere the cursor turns to a hand.

Click play, then click again when the clock strikes 15. You'll have to count in your head (or use a stopwatch) to get it right, as the star disappears once you pass 7.

Tilt the balance to one side and then click/hold the center piece to stop it; tilt it the other way and click/hold the piece in the front to hold that one.

Click the sky, tulips, apples, and rainbow, in that order.

Click the following pegs, in this order (left to right is 1-4, top to bottom is A-E): A3, A2, B2, C3, D2, B3, C2, D3.

Follow the star! Make sure you mess up the first 2 times. ;-)

Make an equation that equals 5, like 4+1.

Get the little guy to the bottom of the same rope he starts on by clicking and breaking the horizontal ropes. If you start on the leftmost rope, click any rope that doesn't interfere, like the middle left rope. If you start center left, click the middle left rope. Center right, the bottom right rope. Far right, the top right rope.

Click the four screws to remove the panel. You'll notice that the bottom right dial goes to 4, one for each click. Under the panel, move your mouse around to reveal how many clicks you need on each of the corresponding levels. If you've been following this walkthrough, you're good.

Click and hold any ball and move it around to clear the space over the star. I found it helpful to go nuts until you're ball is big enough to take up the whole screen, then release it off to the side.

Drag the star down to paint it pink.

Click and hold the smallest square, and drag it around until you've correctly placed all the squares. Start with positioning the largest one and work your way in.

Just click and hold the blue circle.

Drag the glowing diamond and let it go to toss it at another glowing diamond. Keep in mind the shape you're going for. I found it easiest to aim at one where you can pull and launch as hard as you can. I went left, right, top, bottom, then back to start.

Click the kanji (I think it's kanji) in the order it appears: left, top, middle & bottom of the box, then diagonal, top horizontal, vertical, middle & bottom horizontal.

Move your dot and try and bounce the yellow ball 5 times without hitting the purple ones.

Click and drop to the bottom left area to expose the star.

From the outside in, start by moving the 4th circle so it matches the 2nd. Then move the 3rd so it matches the 1st. Now move the 2nd so both the 4th and 2nd match the center, and finally the 1st so both the 1st and 3rd match the rest.

Click where one of the girls are pointing when your cursor turns into a hand.

Hoshi Saga Ringoen Walkthrough

General Information

The cursor changes to a hand indicating clickable areas.

Some areas require simple clicking, some clicking and dragging of items.

Some solutions are logic based, some are reflex based.

The solutions to some levels are tied to the solutions of other levels.

You cannot access certain levels until you have completed all of the levels in a row or column.

Good luck finding the stars!

Level 51

Click anyplace in the scene and wait for the animation to end.

When it ends you should have five pieces, four triangular and one rhombus.

Note the dotted outline in the background. Click on a triangular piece that will fit in that area (they will rotate when clicked) and drag it there.

You get scored on each level in that row. For some reason (I don't know why, I got it through trial and error) you have to get a score of 8 on level 61, 3 on level 62, 3 on level 63, 1 on level 64 and 4 on level 65.

Remove the cover on level 65, hover your mouse around and numbers will appear with arrows pointing to the dials. These numbers indicate the "moves" you must use to solve levels 61, 62, 63, and 64. Level 61 must be done in 8 moves, level 62 in 3 moves, level 63 in 3 moves, and level 64 in 1 move. After you go back and resolve the levels, go back to level 65 and use 4 moves to remove the 4 screws. All of the indicator lights will be green if you've used the correct number of moves in the previous levels and the star will appear.

Wait until they make the fourth pass. The first pass will be all five planes, the second pass will be the two planes looping around each other, the third pass will be one plane flying through on a diagonal. On the fourth pass, all five will come up from the bottom. Wait until they reach the top and turn, then click and hold until they leave the screen. You should get your star then.

Click once and wait for the animation to end. Then you will have five shapes. Click on one of the triangles that will fit in the dotted line and it will rotate. Drag the rotated triangle to the area indicated and another dotted line will appear. Continue to drag and drop the pieces until the star is formed.

Don't touch the middle. Get the second ring lined up with the fourth ring, and the third ring lined up with the fifth ring; rotate the fourth ring until it and the second ring are lined up with the middle, then rotate the fifth ring until it and the third ring are lined up with the rest.

Click anywhere, then place the shapes in the dotted outline in the following order: Brown triangle, diamond, blue triangle, purple (left) triangle, pink (right) triangle.

Plug in the lamp and pull the cord.

Drag the lowest top bar to the right, over the rightmost part of the star, and let go.

Drag the brown ball to the right. Get the last ball and drag it all the way to the left, then arrange the other two over it to form the star.

Click like crazy until the mountain forms the bottom of the star.

When the five planes all come from the bottom and spread out, click and hold as they form the star. I found it was helpful to watch the one that breaks to the top right and hold as soon as he goes horizontal left.

Click and hold anywhere the cursor turns to a hand.

Click play, then click again when the clock strikes 15. You'll have to count in your head (or use a stopwatch) to get it right, as the star disappears once you pass 7.

Tilt the balance to one side and then click/hold the center piece to stop it; tilt it the other way and click/hold the piece in the front to hold that one.

Click the sky, tulips, apples, and rainbow, in that order.

Click the following pegs, in this order (left to right is 1-4, top to bottom is A-E): A3, A2, B2, C3, D2, B3, C2, D3.

Follow the star! Make sure you mess up the first 2 times. ;-)

Make an equation that equals 5, like 4+1.

Get the little guy to the bottom of the same rope he starts on by clicking and breaking the horizontal ropes. If you start on the leftmost rope, click any rope that doesn't interfere, like the middle left rope. If you start center left, click the middle left rope. Center right, the bottom right rope. Far right, the top right rope.

Click the four screws to remove the panel. You'll notice that the bottom right dial goes to 4, one for each click. Under the panel, move your mouse around to reveal how many clicks you need on each of the corresponding levels. If you've been following this walkthrough, you're good.

Drag the glowing diamond and let it go to toss it at another glowing diamond. Keep in mind the shape you're going for. I found it easiest to aim at one where you can pull and launch as hard as you can. I went left, right, top, bottom, then back to start.

Click the kanji (I think it's kanji) in the order it appears: left, top, middle & bottom of the box, then diagonal, top horizontal, vertical, middle & bottom horizontal.

Move your dot and try and bounce the yellow ball 5 times without hitting the purple ones.

Click and drop to the bottom left area to expose the star.

From the outside in, start by moving the 4th circle so it matches the 2nd. Then move the 3rd so it matches the 1st. Now move the 2nd so both the 4th and 2nd match the center, and finally the 1st so both the 1st and 3rd match the rest.

Click where one of the girls are pointing when your cursor turns into a hand.

I didn't realize that the lines appeared in the order you're supposed to click them. I was floundering around trying to remember the stroke order for writing kanji. Which did eventually lead me to the correct solution, but still. I really need to stop overthinking these things.

The only row that matters is the middle one, the 6 + 6, that is the row that generates the star. On the left side use the up arrow once to change the 6 to a 1, then on the right side use the down arrow twice to change the 6 to a 4 and you have your solution in three clicks.

Yeah to be honest, level 65 killed this for me. That puzzle is just stupid and breaks what's nice about Hoshis saga: a bunch of independent puzzles where I can solve everyone without caring about the other (disregarding the unlocking). No cookie for this one.

Hmm...the version of the game hosted at jayisgames currently has the wrong level numbers - unlike the versions hosted at the sites Donut linked to, it starts at #26, rather than #51.
- ^_^;

[Yes, we were linking to a different mirror site due to all the traffic these games generate when a new installment comes out. I don't know whey that mirror site's level numbers were off. Anyways, I've switched all the links back to Nekogames, so the level numbers should all be correct now. -Jay]
